Did you know Panera had pizza? I've never seen anyone order it before! Anyhoo, here's the Eat This, Not That for Panera...

Eat This:
  • BBQ Chicken Crispani (1/3 Pizza). Crispani, a line of thin-crust flatbread pizzas, contain fewer calories than any Panera sandwich - between 320 and 380 calories per serving.
  • Strawberry Poppyseed and Chicken Salad.
  • Low-fat vegetarian garden vegetable soup with a whole grain loaf.
  • Chai tea latte.
Not That:
  • Sierra Turkey Sandwich. How can a turkey sandwich do so much damage? The asiago cheese focaccia bread has 6 grams of fat per slices, and the turkey's slathered in chipotle mayo. Love turkey? Try the smoked turkey on sourdough - it has half the calories.
  • Fuji apple chicken salad.
  • Broccoli cheddar soup (8 oz) in a sourdough soup bowl.
  • Caramel latte.
Weapon of Mass Destruction:
  • Italian combo sandwich. The bread along yields 82 carbs. Instead, choose one kind of meat, and substitute a whole grain baguette or loaf.
Little trick:
  • Order your soup with a sourdough roll instead of a gagantuan bread bowl - you'll cut 370 calories from your meal.
Guilty pleasure:
  • Nutty oatmeal raisin cookie. In a smorgasbord of muffins, pastries, and cake, the nutty oatmeal raisin cookie proves a reasonable indulgence. The oats pack soluble fiber, which helps cut cholesterol, and raisins are rich in potassium, which staves off hypertension. Plus, this cookie has less sugar than any other cookie or muffin.
